A legacy, a dream, a promise. The three words that were endlessly spouted by Mayor and owners when West Ham successfully bid to become the new tenants of the then named Olympic Stadium. Six years on, the legacy is in tatters, the dream is all but dead and the promises unfulfilled.
This discontent that has raged surrounding the London Stadium has been fuelled by what is a complete mismanagement from organisations and hierarchy’s ever since the end of the Olympics.
The squabbles between both West Ham and London Legacy Development Corporation have affected both taxpayer and fans in what has been seen as one of the most expensive flops in a generation, and has killed the identity of club.

Jiu-jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that has deep roots in Japan but was later modified in Brazil. This niche martial art came to prominence during the first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event back in 1993.
One of the creators of the event was Brazilian martial artist Rorion Gracie. The event was not the first of its kind, but at the time it was a precedent for Americ...

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang knows better than most that your skin colour is of irrelevance when you've sent your fans into a state of limb flailing ecstasy with a goal, especially if it's against your local rivals. That is until a banana skin lands in close proximity of your celebrations. Suddenly your complexion is the story, not your football.
This act of racial abuse came days after an ITV documentary called 'Out of Their Skin', in which Ian Wright explored the journey through football of Viv Anderson and Cyrille Regis. Just as British football was collectively commending its progress since Regis and Richards received monkey chants in the in the 70's and 80's, one Tottenham fan at the Emirates reminded us not to get complacent.
This is the kind of overt racism that was commonplace
